Should implicit constructors be introduced at the same time of introduction of inline classes? #3183

Without implicit constructors,

inline class MyInt(int _) implements int;

void main() {
  var mi = MyInt(10);
  mi = MyInt(mi * 2);
}

With implicit constructors,

inline class implicit MyInt(int _) implements int;

void main() {
  MyInt mi = 10;
  mi *= 2;
}

cf. #108 #309

I think implicit construction would need to wait a bit, because of resource constraints. It's definitely on the agenda, cf. #3040, but this may or may not get enough support from the rest of the language team... ;-)
